With the announcement today of $25 million in grants to two longtime program partners, the Minneapolis-based McKnight Foundation reveals a new strategic focus to help the Midwest United States become a leader in addressing climate change.
Building directly on McKnight’s 2008 commitment of $100 million for climate change mitigation, the new Midwest Climate & Energy program also complements over 20 years of support to promote renewable energy in Minnesota and the Midwest. McKnight’s board adopted the refined focus because of the tremendous opportunities it represents for Midwest businesses and communities to innovate and lead toward a clean energy economy, according to the organization's press release.
RE-AMP received $5 million over two years for networked efforts to promote policies in the Upper Midwest that advance clean energy and combat climate change. A grantee since 2004, RE-AMP is a network of over 150 nonprofits and 14 foundations working in eight Midwest states that seeks to make significant reductions in pollution that causes climate change.
Energy Foundation, San Francisco, received $20 million over two years to win new clean energy policies in the Midwest and help the Midwest reshape the national narrative around energy and climate. McKnight has partnered with EF since 1993, with a primary focus on public policies to encourage big new markets for renewable energy and energy efficiency.
